Biomarkers of Sarcopenia: Current Status and Future Perspectives

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
In this review, we summarize the various biomarkers discovered in recent years, including biochemical, imaging, and physical testing markers. We analyze their advantages and disadvantages and propose potential ways to improve the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers, as well as future research directions.

Regional gas exchange evaluation during ex vivo lung perfusion in a swine model of localized lung dysfunction

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows the evaluation of lungs that do not meet standard transplantation criteria. Current procedures do not permit the identification of regional functional deficits. We investigated the feasibility of assessing lobar gas exchange during EVLP in a swine model.

alpha-Actinin interacts with rapsyn in agrin-stimulated AChR clustering

Molecular Brain, 2008
AChR is concentrated at the postjunctional membrane at the neuromuscular junction. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. We show that α-actinin, a protein known to cross-link F-actin, interacts with rapsyn, a scaffold protein essential for ...

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis: update on disease types, models, and mechanisms [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) caused by antibodies that attack components of the postsynaptic membrane, impair neuromuscular transmission, and lead to weakness and fatigue of skeletal muscle.

Patterns of interspecific variation in labial microarchitecture among anthropoid primates and the evolution of the hominin lips

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Comparative histological and semi‐automated image analysis of primate lips: Masson's trichrome‐stained sagittal sections were segmented to quantify the connective tissue, adipose, and muscular components, enabling interspecific comparisons of labial architecture.

Simultaneous Combined Myositis, Inflammatory Polyneuropathy, and Overlap Myasthenic Syndrome

Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2016
Immune-mediated neuromuscular disorders include pathologies of the peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. If overlap syndromes (or the association of almost two autoimmune disorders) are recognized, the simultaneous occurrence of

Single‐Stage Anatomic Reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Posterior Cruciate Ligament, Medial Collateral Ligament, and Posterolateral Corner for Multiligament Knee Injury

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Multiligament knee injuries represent rare and challenging injuries that require complex surgical management to restore stability and function. Current evidence supports anatomic single‐stage reconstructions when feasible in order to re‐establish knee kinematics and enable early rehabilitation.
